La Barbera d'Asti DOCG Superiore di Ricossa è un vino rosso di grande carattere e raffinatezza. Proveniente dalle colline astigiane del Piemonte, questo vino è ottenuto esclusivamente da uve Barbera, una delle varietà autoctone più apprezzate della regione. Dopo una rigorosa selezione delle uve, la fermentazione avviene a temperatura controllata, seguita da un affinamento in botti di rovere per almeno 12 mesi, che conferisce complessità e armonia al vino.

Nel calice, la Barbera d'Asti Superiore si presenta con un colore rosso rubino intenso con riflessi violacei. Al naso, rivela un bouquet ampio e avvolgente, caratterizzato da note di ciliegia matura, prugna e piccoli frutti di bosco, arricchite da sentori speziati e leggermente vanigliati dovuti all'affinamento in legno.

Al palato, questo vino offre una struttura piena e avvolgente, con un perfetto equilibrio tra acidità e morbidezza. I tannini sono fini e ben integrati, regalando lunghezza e persistenza gustativa. La Barbera d'Asti DOCG Superiore di Ricossa è ideale per accompagnare piatti di carne rossa, arrosti, formaggi stagionati e paste con sughi ricchi e saporiti.

Un vino che esprime l'autenticità della terra piemontese e la maestria enologica della cantina Ricossa, rendendolo una scelta eccellente per chi cerca una Barbera di qualità superiore.
